Dabur India Q3 Results: Net profit rises 2% to ₹516 cr, revenue up 3.1%


Dabur India posted a net profit of ₹516 crore for the quarter ended December 31, up 2 per cent compared to the same period last year. Consolidated revenue grew by 3.1 per cent to ₹3,355 crore. The homegrown FMCG major noted that the quarter was marked by high food inflation, continued moderation in urban demand, and a strong recovery in rural markets.

“We focused on strengthening our competitive edge in the marketplace to gain market share in 95 per cent of our portfolio and enhancing brand superiority to strengthen and consolidate our position in the categories where we operate,” Dabur India Limited Chief Executive Officer Mohit Malhotra said.

The company also said it has decided to revise its strategic vision cycle from four years to three years to create a more agile organisation in the wake of short-term volatility in the geopolitical landscape and uncertain macroeconomic indicators. “We have engaged a leading consulting firm, McKinsey & Co., to refine and align our strategies for the next three years in line with the evolving dynamics,” Malhotra said.

The company’s rural distribution network expanded by 15,000 villages this fiscal year to over 1,31,000 villages. “This extensive reach has given us a distinct advantage, allowing us to drive rural growth at a pace nearly 140 bps ahead of urban areas. The positive trend in rural consumption is a testament to our commitment to this consumer base and our ability to adapt to their unique needs,” he added.

The India Business saw Dabur’s key brands and products post category-leading growths with market share gains across 95% of the portfolio, led by a 150 bps improvement in Hair Oils market share. “Our focus on premiumisation is also paying off, with our premium portfolio growing 2.5 to 3 times faster than our overall business in India. We intend to continue this journey and keep delivering products that exceed our consumers’ expectations,” Malhotra said.

Dabur’s International Business reported strong constant currency (CC) growth of 19% during the third quarter, led by Egypt, MENA, US and Bangladesh.
